Does php has such functions to do so. Thanks It certainly does support parsing XML - see http://php.net/xml for all the gory details. Of course, you'll need to write your own code to insert the parsed data into your favourite database.

[PHP-DB] RE: XML
I am looking at a project using XML to import and export data into MySql directly or using php. The datasets are quite large (40-50 million records) XML is a metadata technology - you wrap data in XML. You don't use XML to import or export data. You don't store XML in a database, you store data. When you fetch the data from the database, you wrap it in XML and send it on its way. Does that make it simpler? sql,mysql -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

On the other hand, proclaimed native XML databases (eg, Software AG's Tamino, Ixiasoft's TEXTML) store the XML-wrapped data in the database...no need to wrap and unwrap the metadata, document/data structure from the data. - Original Message - From: Ed Carp [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Peter Lovatt [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 27, 2002 7:10 PM Subject: RE: XML I am looking at a project using XML to import and export data into MySql directly or using php.

[PHP-DB] Re: XML
All depends on what you're trying to accomplish and the drivers behind the path you wish (or need or have been mandated) to take. Having said that, I make no claims with respect to the smartness of others (I find I too often question that in myself to serve as a judge of others). Nice little philosophical exchange...good to break the monotony of real life from time to time. Cheers to all and hope ya find the answers you seek.

C'mon. XML is just data. There's no particular reason *not* to store it in a database. Is there? But usually people who ask about storing XML in MySQL seem to think MySQL should do something for them other than *just* store and retrieve it. The question is, what? That's what doesn't seem to get answered. mysql, sql, xql, xquery, querywhat did I miss?

If: An XML database is analogous to a pure data database Then: An XML document is the analog of a table XML Entities are analogs of columns XML Attributes are analogs of column properties (aren't these metadata?)

[PHP-DB] RE: XML
Not sure there is much more metadata in an XML database than in a data database. In a standard database, the data and metadata are stored separately, not so with XML. When the next new latest and greatest thing comes along, you'll have to strip all that metadata out of your data. It also makes for bigger databases, and a lot more wasted space, like comparing normalized and unnormailzed tables. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
